Classification and Function of Yoga
According to the theory of Chinese medicine, yoga can be divided into yang and yin. Yang yoga refers to strength yoga and pays more attention to endurance training. Yin yoga pays attention to the deep connective tissue of human body and exercises more joints. Although hatha yoga is Yang yoga, it is comprehensive and suitable for everyone to practice. At present, it is also considered as "the most natural and effective physical therapy".

Hatha yoga mainly achieves its training purpose through body posture, breathing and relaxation skills. These techniques are of great benefit to the nervous system, digestive system, reproductive system, various glands and internal organs. People who often have headaches and bad stomachs can be effectively improved through practice. Hatha yoga is random and slow, which is very suitable for beginners.

Do it the same way on the other side.

At present, the courses of "mind yoga" and "energy yoga" offered by many gyms are actually based on hatha yoga, but the pertinence is slightly different. For example, energy yoga can strengthen strength, balance and cardiopulmonary function through the combination of various yoga postures and a certain speed and intensity. Wang hong emphasized that although there are many schools of yoga now, no matter which form, you can form your own style in practice, and the key to practice lies in your own feelings.
